Passengers

Introduction

Despite the marginal growth in air transport movements, we see a strong growth of passengers: +3.7% growth to a total of 71,1 million (incl. Transit). This is a result of a higher share of passenger movements (+1.0% growth) at the cost of full freighter movements. The average passenger aircraft size increased, offering nearly 172 seats on average (3 more than in 2017). The occupancy rate (seat load factor) increased by 0.8%point, to 85.7%. Within that volume, we see that the number of O&D passengers (+4.4%) outgrew the number of transfer (+2.6%).
